62: Attention to Detail

General Meaning: Ambitious undertakings are not in order now, but attention to small matters brings progress. Such is the case of a person whose resources are meager, but who, through modesty and perseverance, rises to accomplish great things.

The key to success when small potential influences the larger scene is to avoid pretentious ambitions and grandiose goals. The power of the small is served by slow and steady advancement, and succeeds through an honest awareness of its own limitations, without reservation.

Modesty stemming from recognizing your limitations is a fine quality, but it can be seen as weakness if it is not accompanied by conscientiousness. It is important to understand the demands of your situation, and not to expect success in big things right now. The wise person recognizes the nature of the time. So, know your own role, carefully attend to details and act with humility, and you can achieve your goal even with few resources.

The Moon

This Tarot Deck: Royal Thai

General Meaning: What has traditionally been known as the Moon card refers to a deep state of sensitivity and imaginative impressionability, developed within a womb of deep relaxation. Here we dream and go into trance, have visions and receive insights, wash in and out with the psychic tides, and experience deep mystical and/or terrifying realities beyond our ordinary senses. The full moon and/or eclipse cycle charted by the Magi (as in some of the earliest Moon card images) exemplify this as a mechanism that Nature uses to expand consciousness.

The variants of the courtly lovers (representing skillful use of the sex force) or the man sleeping it off under the tree (use of drugs to alter consciousness) are also traditional avenues for tapping this primal force. Human interest in higher states propels us to the frontiers of consciousness, where we cannot always control what happens. The Moon card represents the ultimate test of a soul’s integrity, where the membrane between self and the Unknown is removed, and the drop of individuality reenters the Ocean of Being. What transpires next is between a soul and its Maker

We are enthusiastic and raring to go this morning because a brilliant Sun-Uranus alignment encourages innovative action while the dramatic Leo Moon reflects our need to be seen and appreciated. However, the Moon’s shift into analytical Virgo at 3:33 pm EDT reveals a more practical side of life. Meanwhile, brainy Mercury forms a harmonious trine to steady Saturn, enabling us to think about our plans before rushing into anything too impulsively.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may feel as if so much has happened and your life has changed a lot these past few months. However, the stability that you once counted on has faded. Fortunately, today could offer you small victories in your current battle of regaining control. But don’t swing into action too quickly or you might run off in the wrong direction to fix problems that can wait. Ask someone you trust to help you set new priorities before you make a mistake.

You might not be the first to come up with the answer to a problem today, but your solution is worth waiting for. Your idea may seem overly simplistic, but it’s hard to argue with your rock-solid logic. Ironically, all the pieces of your plan fit so well together that others could suspect you of hiding something. Don’t be tempted to back off just to settle someone else’s fears. Stick to what you know is true and the resistance will dissipate.

There won’t likely be any unexpected surprises today because rational Mercury in your clever sign harmoniously trines serious Saturn. You are standing on a firm foundation now upon which you can build a reliable action plan. But don’t be satisfied with the status quo; instead, establish new goals that extend beyond your current ones. Try not to miss this opportunity to apply your analytical skills, while your logic is as good as it gets.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The intensity of your desires doesn’t let up as clarity replaces anxiety. If your plans have been ambiguous lately because you couldn’t make a decision, now the fog clears, giving you the ability to perceive what’s ahead. Making choices about how to best tie up loose ends is a smart idea today if you want to be ready for the future. You might be surprised at how much you actually accomplish if you just diligently work at a steady pace.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may believe that you’re running out of time as the Moon leaves your sign today. Although your anxiety is likely self-imposed now, you grow calmer as the day proceeds. There’s no need to push yourself too hard; your current fear of failure is probably unwarranted. Do whatever you can without having unrealistic expectations, then set new goals tomorrow when your far-sighted vision improves.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be more unconventional than others realize, even if it appears that you’re following the party line. Your ideas might be quite progressive, yet hiding them now is a good idea so you don’t seem out of place at work. Luckily, you have the ability to concentrate fully on your career. Fortunately, your singular focus may be enough to ease the developing pressure in other areas of your life at this time.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You take your role as mediator very seriously today, but others may be growing tired of your desire to fix relationships that don’t live up to your standards. Your friends and associates honestly believe that you’ve done enough and that it’s now time for you to back off. However, you are more patient than usual and you are willing to wait before making your next move. Just remember that it’s not a smart idea to make decisions for anyone else before you attend to your own.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You can achieve a certain satisfaction now, even if the circumstances of your current relationships are complicated. Your reasoning is sound and you can effectively think through all the possibilities before saying something that you might later regret. Nevertheless, it’s still smart to acknowledge old insecurities so they don’t get in your way. Unresolved issues can make you anxious, provoking you to disclose secrets that you would rather keep to yourself a while longer. Consider your audience before you utter a word.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be considering ways to stabilize a relationship because your partner seems to be acting somewhat flighty now. On one hand, you’re tempted to take desperate action if you see someone you care about slipping away. But rather than panicking needlessly, this is the time for cool and collected actions. Slow down and think everything through first. Your rational approach of sharing your concerns in a non-judgmental manner will allow others to meet you halfway.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It may feel as if your schedule has become so busy that it’s growing unmanageable. Thankfully, you are blessed with organizational superpowers today as clever Mercury in your 6th House of Work forms an easy trine with sensible Saturn in your 10th House of Career. But attempting to accomplish too much can be disastrous now, so don’t try to do everything all at once. For the best results, set priorities, make a list and then methodically check off the items one at a time.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

This is a great day to put your travel schedule together for an upcoming trip. Or, if you are considering a new course of study, now is the time to make it happen. In fact, all forms of growth are favored today, so enroll in that class or book your plane tickets. Your positive attitude goes a long way on your road to success, so if you’re seeking adventure, there’s no reason to wait any longer.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

If you have been putting off a major decision, today is your day to deliver your final answer. However, you won’t likely act impulsively as communicator Mercury receives a helping hand from reserved Saturn, adding a cool logic to your thought process. Following a hunch often works for you, but now cold hard facts will take you even further. Remember that your best choices are made with both your head and your heart.

Be nice to your kids. They’ll choose your nursing home.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Good day to learn a new trick for dealing with people who come by your home to try to sell you something. Open the door v..e..r..y slowly, and squint at them. Then resume sharpening a large kitchen knife, while they are talking at you.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Oh go ahead. You know you want to. Besides, nobody is watching.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

You will mosey, this week. There’s nothing that wrong with moseying, after all, and it’s occasionally just what is needed. In fact, you’ll soon begin work on “Mosey Your Way To Fitness”, a best-selling self-help book on the topic.

I couldn’t resist this picture. This wolf looks just exactly like my wolf-hybrid I had to have put to sleep two years ago. That nearly killed me, I had panic attack after panic attack in the clinic. I didn’t want to let her go for nothing but she was in pain and I couldn’t stand to see her suffer anymore. But to this day, I still love her with all my heart.

I got to thinking about wolves and dogs because it is 100 degrees outside. My Pomeranian is stretched out all over the bed. I take her every place I go almost. She had been pissed off at me because it turned off hot and I had been leaving her home. I decided the other day that I would show her why she was having to stay home. We where going to run down to the local Dollar Store (time to get dressed up, going to the Dollar Store!). I had been cleaning house and about to burn up. So I took a headband and brushed my hair straight back and then took a clasp and put it up. I normally have long curly hair. Well we went to the Dollar Store. I locked the door of the truck. Ran in and right back out. My goofy dog didn’t recognize me and was trying to eat me up. She was at the window showing her teeth and growling. Hell, I never knew little dogs acted like that. Needless to say, a crowd gathered. I turned around and there was people on both sides of me. They acted like I was trying to steal the truck and the dog. I finally screamed loud enough for my goofy dog to hear me. She calmed down and I got the key in the door. I had to ask several of the people to excuse me to open the door. I got in and under my breath I had a good talk to my pooch. While I was talking to the pooch, even more people had gathered. I just looked up in amazement. What the heck are these people planning to do lynch me? HELP! I opened the door and stood up on the door frame. I asked them if they could move where I could get going. They just stood there. I asked them again. One of the men had the gall to tell me they still wasn’t sure it was my truck. I got so pissed I couldn’t see straight. It was 100 degrees outside, I had sweat running down my face and this idiot wanted to know if this was my truck. My reply to him was not very nice (I have cleaned it up were I can post it here), “Well, Mister, if you go out there and lay down in the road, I’ll show you this is my truck!” It is amazing a loud mouth redhead can move mountains or a sea of hicks when she has too. When I got home I ran into the house with all my packages, locked the doors and barred the windows. And all this because of my cute, adorable, sweet, loveable Kiki! Yeah right!
